Work was uneventful today. First thing, I made a doctor’s appointment about this sore throat. At 10:15, I weighed in — not in a good place. My blood pressure was good though, 124/82. The nurse took a throat culture. Negative for Strep. The doctor saw it immediately with the light in my throat… “you have … Read more

We got up at around 9 again today, and went to Courtney’s for breakfast. When we got there, we found that it had closed down. We went to Finch’s. We stopped by Staples on the way home and I (finally!) bought some racks to hold the hanging file folders in the file cabinet Jeanie-baby gave … Read more

We got up around 9:00, and went to IHOP for breakfast. Ken, the “big ole girl” waited on us. He was so nice, and a good waiter! On leaving there, we stopped at Cameron Village, at Acipiter and Jill Flink’s to look for a gift for the EAGLE party. I ended up getting a $22.50 … Read more

I left work at around 3:30, and stopped by The Card Factory. I bought Christmas wrapping paper, some Christmas name tags for the EAGLE party, and got three mylar balloons for Robert. One said, “Happy Birthday,” one said, “50,” and the other said, “I Love You.” Robert arrived at around 6:00 and we left for … Read more

It’s that time of year again, when I cringe every time I hear the introduction to the song, Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer. “You know Dasher and Dancer, and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?” But? But? That conjunction just doesn’t work … Read more

Spent most of the day fiddling with trying to get CVS to attach to Access360’s servers, trying to replace ctl3d32.dll, and with uninstalling and reinstalling NAV. What a pain. Finished the EAGLE end of year report. Attended quarterly IDWB L1 Support meeting. Alice is good people. Spent about an hour with Rhonda trying to fix … Read more

Spent most of the day catching up on my e-mail from being out. Spoke with Susanne for a while. Tried to install CVS. Spent a good deal of time incorporating the feedback comments from the EAGLE officers on the EAGLE end-of-year report. I sent this note to the boys: Greetings gentlemen, I have returned safe … Read more

I got up at about 8:30. Michael was already up, smoking and watching TV. I asked him if he would try and find the recording of “Macy Gray and ‘the flies, the flies’” while I showered. They have a towel warming rack. How wonderful to dry off with a warm towel! Afterward, I watched the … Read more

I got up at 9, in time to have the complimentary hotel breakfast, which is served until 10. From there, I made my way to the post office — “La Poste” — passing right by it as the lady in the lobby of the hotel told me it was about a 20 minute walk. It … Read more

After a late night, I got up at 11:30. I missed lunch with Michael and Nick to say goodbye to Nick, who left today. Bummer. After going through the tour book that Alan had put in our packets, and marking down the subway stops for the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and L’Opera, I walked down to … Read more
